COLLAR-STUD.

rosieso- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 16, 1913.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MARCUS AUERBACH, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of 207 St. James street, in the city and District of Mont-real, in the Province of Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Collar-Studs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

The invention relates to improvements in collar 'studs and the object of the invention is to devise a very simple form of collar stud which will be cheap to manufacture, of a durable nature and effective in holding the collar to the shirt and it consists essentially of the formation of a single length of wire, as more particularly set forth hereinafter and shown in the drawings that form part of this specification.

Inthe drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the stud complete. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the stud inserted in the neckband.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings 1 represents'the head of the stud, which is the central portion of the length of wire bent in any suitable head shape, that is to say, round, square or tapered, the neck 2 being formed by the inward bends of the Wire at each side, the said length of wire continuing from each side of the said neck band and flaring outwardly forming the rounded shoulders 3 and from said shoulders curled around to form the anchor portions 4, said curled or twisted bends being made in any shape or if it is desired. for a very cheap form the shoulder parts may be terminated abruptly and form the anchor parts, though it is preferable for greater security and comfort to give extra bends to the wire.

In the use of this invention the head of the stud is inserted through the hole in the neckband 5, which is preferably of that make which has the hole through the outer ply, and the head is then turned down, which throws the anchor parts 4 in positions to each side and above the line of the stud hole. The head then hangs downwardly and is in a position to receive the collar, which is buttoned on in the ordinary way and very securely held.

In this description the invention is described as formed of Wire, but it must be understood that any material, that will take a similar shape and be of an open flexible material is quite as satisfactory.

What I claim is A collar stud of Wire bent in the shape of an eye and having its base ends inturned in convolvent arrangement and forming oval flat surfaces of a plurality of strands of wire, adapted to lie closely under the shirt band and at the same time be flexible to the touch or to the movement of the wearer.

Signed at Montreal, Canada, this 27th day of March 1912.
